or solids 1915, against 1925 per cent. Of
water.
The total solids may be increased by
special feeding, but not in the proportion
of any one ingredient. Fatty matter given
10 cows is not turned to butter. but, assimi-
lated in the body, it thus indirectly leads
to improvement in the general quality of
the milk. Albuminoids in the food are
directly converted into butter-fets as well
as albuminoids in milk. Hence it was
found that oil-cakeB were not the best
food, but that bean-meal and decorticated
cotton-cake were among the superior con-
centrated foods for cows. Washy sloppy
food increases the water and hence re-
duces the solids. Exercise tends to the
using up of heterogeneous matter, and in
cows 1t Is secreted as caseine, while rest
tends to the conservation of fats. Hence,
when cheese is the object, the COWS should
have exercise, but for the production of
butter the best results are obtained where
cows are kept continually tied up. Varia-
ton In the relative ingredients are due to
breeds and their peculiarly, but the various
ingredients are perfectly defined and sepa-
rate from one another, and kept 10 pretty
nearly the same relative proportions.
The lecturer called attention to the
peculiarities of milk as between that of

ing to or more per cent. of butter, with
large corpuscles, the latter with smaller
corpuscles, but rich in caseine, containing
as much as of butter, giving in the average
$50 of each. Large butter corpuscles re-
quire large gland cells to form them, and
these are the result of development. The
total solids depend most on food, treat
ment, ETC., and variation of ingredients
most on breed. There is no reason to sup
pose that any breed has as yet reached it's
structural limit, and improvement is to
be sought in selection and using butter
and milk tests as guide.

That day Albert passed in aching anx-

when the evening arrived, was that Miss
Isldora was not killed, as the schoolmaster
had asserted, but very i'll.
Weeks went by, and Albert was still
under his parents roof He went not abroad
but lived quite secluded.
No one in the village had seen anything
of poor Franzi, and none knew what had
become of her. For Miss Isidora. her tenn
per had not improved since the young chap
lain left the vicarage; and she led her old
uncle o most terrible life.
Now 1t so happened that Madame Inter

Isidora was the head; and, conseque tly

liking this, the wears niece tried to expel
the matron, but she did not succeed in her
object; and to her dismay, made host of
enemies in Nolothol.

Care Of the Hands.


II the hands are stained, use o handful
of clean sand in the water, rubbing it on
the stains. This sand can be rinsed off and
kept in dish for daily use. Oxalic acid
will take off stains, but it is rank poison,
and dangerous to have about; it also makes
the hands exceedingly harsh. They must
be washed thoroughly in tepid water to in
sure its entire removal, then rubbed with
glvcerine. The use of too much glvcerine
makes the hands moist and cold or clammy,
and very disagreeable to the touch. Never
hold the hands near the fire while rubbing
with glycerine, as it dries in places before
penetrating, leaving the hands harsh.
Many housekeepers have rough hands in
winter, which grow very painful, cracking
open on the knuckles, the cracks extending
into the palms of the hands. They take
their hands out of hot soapsuds or starch, to
hang out clothes in the wind. If they did
not use hot water and the hands were
thoroughly dried before going ont. this
would be avoided. 4 pair of white wooden
stockings cut off rounding at the ankle and
sewed across, with thumb sewed in, make
a very comfortable pair of mittens for hang
ing up and taking off clothes. Pin them
fast to the sleeves with large safety pins be-
fore going ont, having first stretched the
arm upward. then they will not come loose
and the wrists will be protected. After
bring in the clothes, if the mittens are put
in the clothespin- bag they will be kept
clean and in the right place.
Hands are injured in very cold weather
by lack of protection at the wrists. as large
veins and arteries are exposed. The blood
is chilled in passing into the hands. Every
one cannot have handsome, white, and
shapely hands, but every one can have
clean and comfortable hands.-GOod

THE STOCK RANCH.
HedIthy Hogs


1t has been pretty definitely proved that
filth, impure water, and general want of
care are largely conducive to epidemics of
sO-called hog cholera, a number of dis
eases-lung, intestinal, and blood diseases
going under that name when more than

water courses and ponds are especially
low this season, owing TO the drouth, those
who have droves of hogs should be
| especially carefully that swine do not get
water from these sources. Such water will
| be more than likely to carry the germs of
malignant disease. The better plan would
be to use only the water of wells, even at
the expense of considerable extra labor.
In addition to this great care should be
used that all the surroundings be kept per
fectly clean. No less important is q di-
versity of food. The man who places his
dependence on corn as diet for hogs. old

THE DAIRY.
Sell butter PronDtIy.

The first market for butter is invariably
the best. The chances for rise, however
good, will be of no avail to the holder of
old stock. Time was when housewives
packed June butter so that it would keep a
year, but the art seems to have been lost.
as 1t IS certain that all popular faith in it
is. The new-fashioned creamery butter
cannot be kept long, however we'll made.
Some farmers wives, however, who make
butter from the cream AS skinned from
sour milk, are III the habit of packing grass
butter for home use, and with good man
agement they can keep 1t better than that
fresh made In winter.

Moth Freretgffre.

The following recipe for keeping moths
out of the clothing is favorite in some
families: Mix half n pint of alcohol, the
same quantity of spirits of turpine and two
ounces of camphor. Keep in a stone bot
tie, and shake before using. The clothes
or furs are TO be wrapped in linen, and
crumpled- up pieces of b,ottingpaper dipped
in the liquid are to be placed in box with
them, so that it smells strong. This re-

Beautifa .4rtictes Easily Made.

Very pretty things can be made out OF
common checked glass cloths by working
stars of coloreG wool and cotton in each
alternate square--blue stars on the blue
checks, pink on tha pink. The work is
really effective and makes up into night
dress cases, brush bags, cabin tides, toilet
covers, bed Coverlets or morning aprons.
A nightdress case of check glass cloth,
worked with pale blae stars, lined with pale
blue sateen, trimmed round with lace and
finished off with a pale blue ribbon bow,
makes pretty present, accompanied by
a brush bag to match. The same may be
done in pale pink. For a bed coyerlet
several lengths of glass cloth must be
joined and the alternate squares worked
over. There should be lining Of pink or
sateen, and q border of broad, coarse lace
or white ball fringe. morning apron
looks pretty in this work, trimmed round
with lace and with bows on the pockets.
Wool is more effective than ingram cotton
for working the squares, but it should be
Andalusian wool or fine Berlin, that will
wash well.
